We recommend the inclusion of the following wording:

1) Development likely to adversely affect SSSIs which cannot be avoided or minimised will not normally be permitted, unless the benefits of the development at this site clearly outweigh the impacts on this site and the national SSSI network
2) The Council will take all reasonable opportunities to conserve or enhance the special interests of SSSI through the planning system.

Further criteria against which proposals on or effecting local wildlife sites will be judged is also recommended
